Help with Artillery and Tanks.

[Major Downer]

I've really only been a collector of Imperial Guard and I realised I don't really have a main goal to achieve with my Army.

I've decided to start with my tanks and look at what I need, to complete a company or formation, as I have no idea. So any help would be good for a plan of action.

Below is a list of what I have.

Manticore: 1
Bassilisk: 4
Medusa: 1
Bombarder:1
Hydra: 1
Wyvern: 1

Demolisher: 1
Vanquisher: 1
Punisher: 1
Exterminator: 1

Praetor Assault Launcher: 2

I was thinking to have.

Manticore: 1
Bassilisk: 6
Medusa: 1
Bombarder: 1
Hydra: 1
Wyvern: 3
Artillery Tracktor: 1

Demolisher: 1
Vanquisher: 1
Punisher: 1
Exterminator: 3

Praetor Assault Launcher: 3

Please correct me if I'm being completely stupid.

More tanks is never stupid!

What are you aiming for though? A company based on the fluff? Or formations to use in game?

It'd probably be easiest to base a tabletop army like that around the Armoured Company list in Imperial Armour 1. That takes care of the tanks and some FW artillery. And you can than add two of the 'warzone: damocles' artillery formations to include the codex Artillery pieces. The Preators will be apoc only.. so you can just tack those on.

Reckon that should cover most of it.

Edit - you need a second manticore or a deathstrike to do that. They are a required part of the artillery formation.
